Editing Points race (section)

===The Snowball===

The snowball is a variation on the points race where every sprint, only the first-place finisher is awarded any points. The number of points awarded increases with each sprint: the first sprint gives one point, the second gives two points, the third gives three points, etc. The sprints are also more frequent than in the normal points race, and can happen every lap or every two laps. In the case of a tie, the order of the final sprint is used to break the tie.<ref name="DLV">{{cite web |url=https://www.dicklanevelodrome.com/types-of-events/#:~:text=Winning%20lap%20one%20earns%20you,final%20sprint%20breaks%20the%20tie. |title=TYPES OF EVENTS |publisher=Dick Lane Veledrome |access-date=January 8, 2023}}</ref>
